A negro by the name, of Foster from Lea venworth, Kans., has been among them here for some time working up the business, lie represents to them that they can secure rich farming lands in Okla-homa for almost nothing and that if enough of them will go they can secure) an absolute control of the government of that territory. The latter seems to be the principal inducement. A num-o- f negroes who owned good farms here) have sold out everything and will join in the exodus.

TorKKA, Kan., Jan. 27. W. A. Pfeffeiv editor of the Kansas Farmer, has recently received the full allianen vote for senator in the house. Ffeffer was nominated by the alliance caucus on the ninteunth ballot last night. The vote today means the defeat of Ingalls. The ballot for United States senator resulted: House PfefTer, 96; Ingalls, 23; Blair, 5. Senate Ingalls, !i."i; Pf offer, 2. Pfelfcr was born in Cumberland .y county, Pennsylvania, in 1WH, and is of Dutch parentage, In 1850 he caught tho gold fever and went to California where he remained two years. He made considerable money and returned to Pennsylvania and soon after removed to Indiana and later to Missouri. , He served during the war in the Eighty-thir- Illinois vol-unteers. A', the close of the war he settled at Clarl:svillo, Teun., practicing law, and It',') lie moved to Kansas takihg up claims at different times. He edited various papers; served as dele-gate to the national republican conven-tion in 180. In that year he moved to lopeka, assumed editorial control of the Kansas Farmer and afterwards bought tho paper. He has been en-gaged iu the publication of that paper ever since. The paper has a wide circulation I among the Kansas farmers and much inlhienco over them. He joined the al- - liauce movement one year ago, and in j ;thc spring of last year began a bitter j land determined warfare against In-- 4 galls' Up to a year ago VS"' Pfeffer was a staunch republican.'. I II" outlined his policy as senator to- - I day. Ho said he favored absolute and vi unlimited coinage of silver and oonser- - r vativo expansion of the currency along other lines, lie was in favor, he said, of protection to homo industry, but boiieved the best protection did not always result from high tariffs. Pro-tection by tariff us r. general principle, he said was wrong. High tariff should bo called in to aid only individual struggling industries. He now favored j an average advalorem duty of 20 per f cent. He was opposed to the force bill. of the government, tho executive and congress, both of which have de-cided against the petitioners contention, and this decision he held, must be conclusive upon the judiciary. No consideration, what-ever, the attornev-gouera- l said, had been given in his answer to tho ques-tion of international law which now is and has been for the past six years, a subject of diplomatic correspondence between Great Britain and the United States with reference to to the right of this country to assert certain territorial jurisdiction in the Retiring sea to tho extent of protection to seal fish-eries heyond the three mile limit, ordi-narily fixed as the boundary of terri-torial jurisdiction of the country bordering on the sea. Such a quoetioit, the attorney general respectfully in-sisted, is not within the cognizance of the supreme court, and he therefore did not discuss it. THE QI OF Jl'KISDIC'lION. The Attorney-Gener- al on the Retiring- Sea Di.piltr. Washington, Jan. 27. Tho brief of tho attorney-genera- l in reply to the ap-plication of the Canadian government for a writ of prohibition in the case of W. F. Sayward. for catching seal in the Behring Sea wes tiled in the supreme court today. The position of the U. S. government is thus stated briefly: Tho government of the United States opposes the petition of the district court of Alaska in this case for the fol-lowing reasons: First That tho supreme court has no power in any case to issue a writ of prohibition to the Sitka court, because it is not a district court of the United States, being merely a territorial court. He argued further that that which the petitioners seek to present can not be raised on the record of the admiralty proceedings on file with the Supreme cnurt. because the face of these proceedings show tho jurisdiction in the Alaska court, and after the sentence in such causes is heard argued prohibition "will not issue." In concluding his argument he he'ld that conceding all the facts averred in the petition the question of the juris-diction ol the A'lankan court depends upon the extent of the dominion of the United States in the Behriug sea. This he maintained is a political question to be decided by the political department Little Hup. for Moody. Fiekre, S. f)., Jan. 27. Two ballots were taken for senators yesterday, and Moody lost two votes. The houso had a lengthy session last evening, the fusionists trying to seat the other four contestants from Lawrence couuty. Blake (ind.) was seated in place of Fow-ler (rep.), aud the house adjourned. The opinion prevails that Moody will be de-feated, and it is likelv that Governor Melletto or Senator Melvillo will be taken up.

Dispatches from Chili via Buenos Ayres bring further particulars concerning tho revolution in Chili. The rebel Chilian war vessel at Porto Coquimbo fired a number of shots into town, probably at the troops defending the coal depots. The troops from Valparaiso are oc-cupying Laserena in force. The insur-gents have blockaded Tongoy bay, thirty miles from Coquimbo. Tongoy is connected by railroad with Tamaya and Ovalle, the latter town being in turn connected by rail with Coquimbo. Torbarrall is also blockaded by rebel forces. Three thousand government troops have been sent lo reinforce tho garri-son at Tongoy. Later advices say it is reported that a battle was fought at Tongoy. The rebels have occupied Limache Alto, a town only twenty-fiv- miles from Valparaiso. At Limache Alto, the rebel forces took possession of tho national factories und expelled the di-rector and adherents of President a from the town. The rebels have also occupied Quillota in the province of Valparaiso, fifty miles from Santiago, aud Omanconagua, twenty miles from the Pacific. The property of foreign residents is sufferingconsiderable from the rebellion in spite of the efforts of representatives of the foreign powers to protect the in-terests of the citizens of the various countries they represent. The action of the diplomatic representative has beep so discouraging to those offi-cials that they have formally informed the Chilian government that they will embark on board of the vessels of tho floats of the foreign powers if the conflict continues. President Balmacuda In reply has asked the ministers and consuls to delay taking any action for a few days ns he hopes to be able to suppress the rebellion within that time.

DOINCS IN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS. A Brief Mammary of the Kveat. of the Day at the National Cap.tal. Washington, Jan. 27. Tho senate met at noon anil the journal of Thurs-day, covering the proceedings of Thurs-day, Friday, Saturday and Monday was approved. Eustis, rising lo a personal explana-tion read from the Washington Post the following sentence: "Mr. E'istiB was also tiroiiKht trotn his home altnougU be did Dot arrive until after tbo vuto bad bofu taken." He said tho statement was wholly in-accurate. He had been in tho chamber an hour before the first vote was taken; was present when tho vote was taken and did vote. He deemed it proper to make tho explanation because of the importance of tho votes yesterday. The credentials of Stanford and Irby, senators elect from California and South Carolina for the term beginning March 4, 1801, were presented and read and placed on rile. Those of Stanford were criticized by Hoar as unsatisfactory in form, the governor undertaking to "commission Stanford instead of simply certifying to his election." Harris suggested that there was abun-dant time before tho expiration of the present term to have them put in proper form. HOl'SE. The approval of the Journal occupied half an hour. Springer of Illinois rising to a ques-tion of privilege, offered a resolution reciting that the speaker's conduct yes-terday in deciding the motion to be dilatory, was unlawful. McKinley of Ohio made a point of order that the resolution was not a privileged one, the speaker having ex-ercised bis right under the rules to de-cide the motion to be dilatory. The speaker did not think the action of the chair in deciding the motion to be out of order on the ground that it was dilatory could be made a question of privilege. If it could be, then the purpose of the rule of preventing dila-tory motions was nugatory. He sustained the point of order and Springer appealed and McKinley moved to table the appeal; motion agreed to yeas 13S, nays 10.'). Action of Cong-res- Approved. Lincoln, Neb. .Jan., 27. Resolutions were adopted in both branches of the legislature this morning approving the action of the U. S. Senate in refusing to consider the force bill. T Repeal th. Mennett Law.

PACIFIC LOST, A Supreme Court Deoltion Involving; Near-I- t Two Unndr.it Thoutand Dollar.. Washington, Jan. 27. The supreme court announced a decision reversing the judgment of the court of claims, awarding the Central Pacific railway $1!IH,((21 in the suit against tho United Status. Tho question upon whicli the case turned w as whether or not, under tho Thurman act, in computing the net earning of the company, there should first bo taken out expenses incurred, not only for running the road and for repairs, but for betterments and im-provements, whereby tho permanent value of the road increased. This court holds that the expenses cannot, under tho forms of the Thurman act, be taken out in computing tho net earnings, and says the language of the act seems to fireclude any eharse for improvements out of the gross receipts before deciding tho amount the govern-ment shall retain for the sinking fund.

At the office of the Southern Steol company thero has been posted a notice that after February 1st the wages of the men earning more than $1 per day will be reduced 10 per cent. Most of tba men employed were hired in England and brought here, as they say now, in, direct violation of tho labor contract law, and they say they will not submit to tho proposed cut. They say if any civil action is brought against them for breaking the statute, it will cost the steel company $1000 fine for bringing them over. They assert they will stand up for thoir rights and strike. They claim the company pays less for smelt-ing and other work than any .otbtr great mill in the country. FIFTY MEN WERE KILLED. An Awful JEzplo.mn In a Coal Mine at Mt. Plra.ant, Pa. PiTTsBfRO, Jan. 27. A special from Mt. Pleasant, Pa., says a gas explosion in Mammoth shaft of' II. C. Frlck Coke Co.'s mine, about tea miles from this place, occurred this morning. Between seventy and eighty men wert in the mine at the time of the explosion. Eighteen bodies have been taken out, and it is estimated that fifty of the men were killed. It is very difficult to get details of the explosion although it occurred at 9 o'clock this morning. The mines are on the Sewjickly branch pf the Fourth West railroad and are about half w ay between Lalrobe and Mount Pleasant. The machinery which runs the fan was not damaged, and plenty of fresh air was forced into the mine to sustain the living and allow the rescuing parties to enter in safety to firing out the bodies. Tho miue was badly wrecked in places. It Is not possible to gj;t . so v acejirate idea of the number or living, who are injured and who may h tr" ted or Im-prisoned. There Is i fire in the mine, resulting from t e explosion, so there will bo definiti) news in a short time. It is said the most of the killed were either English speaking or Ger-man miners. The shaft is about 100 feet deep, and has a number of galler-ies. The superintendent has orga-nized relief parties and is busily trying to penetrate tho mine. AN AMERICAN ART EXHIBIT. A Mov.m.nt Sat on Font br Klcliard Wat-son Glider. New York. Jan. 27. Special to The Times. A number of gentleman known to be interested in art met here today at the Invitation of Richard Wat-son Gilder to consider the advisability of holding a comprehensive exhibition of American art, both past and con-temporaneous, in the Madison Square Garden building in the spring of 1891?. The meeting was not large, as a num-ber of those invited couceived tne idea that the movement was in some way intended to detract from the interest of the World's Columbian ex-position at Chicago. The project of a single exhibition in the Madison Square Garden was well reviewed by those present. It was thought that it would lake about a year to get up a satisfac-tory collection. Mr. Gilder, tho origi-nator of the movement, warmly pro-tested that the exhibition was not in-tended in any way to rival the Chicago exposition. Another meeting will be held lo give the subject further consid-eration before definite action is taken. NEW SITU EWE COTRT KCLF.S. Dc.lf ued to Meet Ca... Brought f the Purpoi. of Delay. Wasthxgtov.

It was wrapped in a news-paper bearing date of January 14 icst., which indicates that It had but recently been placed there. It must have been placed in the box alive, as one of its little hands was ia its mouth, indicating that it was suck-ing its list. Its legs were broken by the person who crowded it into the) dox. and a cloth was placed over its head to stille its cries.

AIX DEFENDS ON STANFORD. He W.i Nearly Killed, Hut F.mpliaticallv D. clare. Afraln.t th. C'loiiure. Washington, Jan. 27. Senator Aid-ric-and most of the republican sena-tors were completely surprised at the action of the senate in laying aside the closure resolution and taking up the apportionment bill. There was no ex-pectation of any important vote, and one republican senator was absent at-tending to department business when the vote was taken, and it was With dif-ficulty that a pair was arranged for him. Senator Stanford was absent and unpaired. The future course of events depends largely upon him, as Aldrich says, if Stanford agrees tosup-poi- t the rule, he will ask the senate to resume its consideration immediately. The Post says .senators Aldrich and Stewart, whose statements in reference to Senator Stanford's position are rad-ically different, left last evening for New York to see Stanford. The Post says the general belief at the capital is thai the closure resolutions and elec-tions bill have received a death blow. New Yonit, Jan. 27. Senators Al-drich and Stewart arrived here and went to see Senator Stanford to decide their senate dispute which he did by de-claring that Senator Stewart was right and that he (Stanford) was against the closure. Senator Stanford nearly lost his life yesterday. The carriage in which he rode collided with a street car and was completely overturned, the senator standing upon his head. lie bled much from a cut on the left temple, and his right arm ami shoulder were badiy bruised.

Appli-cation has been made to Governor Markham for the pardon of a San Qucntin convict named Wilson How-ard, who, under tho namu of Charles Brown, was sentenced from Calaveras county in August, lfWO, to serve eight years for robbery.

Falmrr 101, Klmhy 100, Ktrratrr 3. Si'i(!N(;i lEl.i, III., Jan. 27. Afterthe thirty-sevent- ballot for United States senator was taken without result, the , joint session adjourned until noon to-morrow. t' There is a movement for a com pro- - f raise on foot. Tho republicans will vote for any candidate with decided I' republican leanings that tho farmer , members may suggest, provided that they cau get the trio to stick together I on him. Tho democrats will suffer de- - feat rather than forsake Palmer. This tends to show that simply because $ Oglesby has been tho caucus nominee fp will not prevent him from being thrown I overboard by tho republicans in case 5 they see they can get in a farmer who i has republican tendencies. I The republicans are 100 strong, and with the three farmer members acting f with them, can elect a United States ? senator. The democrats are lol strong and can elect their scuator with two of the farmer members acting with them. The F. M. B. A. men have put Streoter j! forward, knowing from the start, that M the republicans will not accept him, M and that they would uot if the republi-- j cans wanted to. Hence they are anx- - 6 ious for delay, for if they can find a - man who suits them and the republi-- t cans they can elect the senator. This H they have an ambition to do. j From this it would seem that the re-- j fa publicans at the present time are prob- - ably closer in touch with the farmers' alliance men than tho democrats, but this doesn't mean anything in particu-lar, because the fight is young yet and i'may be prolonged for weeks. As things are now, the election of a straight-ou- t democrat or republican is an impossi-bility, and, knowing this tho republi-cans are. willing to take tho best thing they can get. WAR IN THE SPRINC. Nnt Over 100 nf the Indian. Have Been DtiArnifd. Kansas City, Jan. 27. James A.
